This worked for me and was as easy as adding a gradle dependancy:

https://bintray.com/seesaa/maven/opencv#

https://github.com/seesaa/opencv-android

The one caveat being that I had to use a hardware debugging device as arm emulators were running too slow for me (as AVD Manager says they will), and, as described at the repo README, this version does not include x86 or x86_64 support.

It seems to build and the suggested test:

static {
    OpenCVLoader.initDebug();
}

spits out a bunch of output that looks about right to me.

Integrating OpenCV v3 1 0 into Android Studio v1 4 1  instructions with additional detail and this-is-what-you-should-get type screenshots   Most of the credit goes to Kiran  Kool  1   and SteveLiles over at opencv org for their explanations   I m adding this answer because I believe that Android Studio s interface is now stable enough to work with on this type of integration stuff   Also I have to write these instructions anyway for our project   Experienced A S  developers will find some of this pedantic   This answer is targeted at people with limited experience in Android Studio    Create a new Android Studio project using the project wizard  Menu  File New Project     Call it  cvtest1  Form factor   API 19  Android 4 4  KitKat  Blank Activity named MainActivity  You should have a cvtest1 directory where this project is stored    the title bar of Android studio shows you where cvtest1 is when you open the project   Verify that your app runs correctly   Try changing something like the  Hello World  text to confirm that the build test cycle is OK for you    I m testing with an emulator of an API 19 device   Download the OpenCV package for Android v3 1 0 and unzip it in some temporary directory somewhere    Make sure it is the package specifically for Android and not just the OpenCV for Java package    I ll call this directory  unzip-dir   Below unzip-dir you should have a sdk native libs directory with subdirectories that start with things like arm     mips    and x86      one for each type of  architecture  Android runs on  From Android Studio import OpenCV into your project as a module  Menu  File New Import Module    Source-directory    unzip-dir  sdk java Module name   Android studio automatically fills in this field with openCVLibrary310  the exact name probably doesn t matter but we ll go with this   Click on next   You get a screen with three checkboxes and questions about jars  libraries and import options   All three should be checked   Click on Finish   Android Studio starts to import the module and you are shown an import-summary txt file that has a list of what was not imported  mostly javadoc files  and other pieces of information     But you also get an error message saying failed to find target with hash string  android-14       This happens because the build gradle file in the OpenCV zip file you downloaded says to compile using android API version 14  which by default you don t have with Android Studio v1 4 1    Open the project structure dialogue  Menu  File Project Structure    Select the  app  module  click on the Dependencies tab and add  openCVLibrary310 as a Module Dependency   When you select Add Module Dependency it should appear in the list of modules you can add  It will now show up as a dependency but you will get a few more cannot-find-android-14 errors in the event log  Look in the build gradle file for your app module   There are multiple build gradle files in an Android project   The one you want is in the cvtest1 app directory and from the project view it looks like build gradle  Module  app    Note the values of these four fields    compileSDKVersion   mine says 23  buildToolsVersion  mine says 23 0 2  minSdkVersion  mine says 19  targetSdkVersion  mine says 23   Your project now has a cvtest1 OpenCVLibrary310 directory but it is not visible from the project view      Use some other tool  such as any file manager  and go to this directory   You can also switch the project view from Android to Project Files and you can find this directory as shown in this screenshot    Inside there is another build gradle file  it s highlighted in the above screenshot    Update this file with the four values from step 6    Resynch your project and then clean rebuild it    Menu  Build Clean Project   It should clean and build without errors  and you should see many references to  openCVLibrary310 in the 0 Messages screen     At this point the module should appear in the project hierarchy as openCVLibrary310  just like app    Note that in that little drop-down menu I switched back from Project View to Android View     You should also see an additional build gradle file under  Gradle Scripts  but I find the Android Studio interface a little bit glitchy and sometimes it does not do this right away   So try resynching  cleaning  even restarting Android Studio   You should see the openCVLibrary310 module with all the OpenCV functions under java like in this screenshot    Copy the  unzip-dir  sdk native libs directory  and everything under it  to your Android project  to cvtest1 OpenCVLibrary310 src main   and then rename your copy  from libs to jniLibs   You should now have a cvtest1 OpenCVLibrary310 src main jniLibs directory   Resynch your project and this directory should now appear in the project view under openCVLibrary310    Go to the onCreate method of MainActivity java and append this code   if   OpenCVLoader initDebug          Log e this getClass   getSimpleName       OpenCVLoader initDebug    not working       else       Log d this getClass   getSimpleName       OpenCVLoader initDebug    working         Then run your application   You should see lines like this in the Android Monitor    I don t know why that line with the error message is there  Now try to actually use some openCV code   In the example below I copied a  jpg file to the cache directory of the cvtest1 application on the android emulator   The code below loads this image  runs the canny edge detection algorithm and then writes the results back to a  png file in the same directory     Put this code just below the code from the previous step and alter it to match your own files directories   String inputFileName  simm 01   String inputExtension    jpg   String inputDir   getCacheDir   getAbsolutePath        use the cache directory for i o String outputDir   getCacheDir   getAbsolutePath    String outputExtension    png   String inputFilePath   inputDir   File separator   inputFileName         inputExtension    Log d  this getClass   getSimpleName     loading     inputFilePath           Mat image   Imgcodecs imread inputFilePath     Log d  this getClass   getSimpleName     width of     inputFileName          image width        if width is 0 then it did not read your image       for the canny edge detection algorithm  play with these to see different results int threshold1   70  int threshold2   100   Mat im canny   new Mat        you have to initialize output image before giving it to the Canny method Imgproc Canny image  im canny  threshold1  threshold2   String cannyFilename   outputDir   File separator   inputFileName     canny-    threshold1    -    threshold2         outputExtension  Log d  this getClass   getSimpleName     Writing     cannyFilename   Imgcodecs imwrite cannyFilename  im canny    Run your application   Your emulator should create a black and white  edge  image   You can use the Android Device Monitor  to retrieve the output or write an activity to show it    The Gotchas    If you lower your target platform below KitKat some of the OpenCV libraries will no longer function  specifically the classes related to org opencv android Camera2Renderer and other related classes   You can probably get around this by simply removing the apprpriate OpenCV  java files  If you raise your target platform to Lollipop or above my example of loading a file might not work because use of absolute file paths is frowned upon   So you might have to change the example to load a file from the gallery or somewhere else   There are numerous examples floating around

For everyone who felt they want to run away with all the steps and screen shots on the  great   above answers  this worked for me with android studio 2 2 1   Create a new project  name it as you want and take the default  minSdkVersion 15 is fine    Download the zip file from here  https   sourceforge net projects opencvlibrary files opencv-android    I downloaded 3 2 0 version  but there may be a newer versions    Unzip the zip file  the best place is in your workspace folder  but it not really matter   Inside Android Studio  click File- gt New- gt  Import Module and navigate to  path to your unzipped file OpenCV-android-sdk sdk java and hit Ok  then accept all default dialogs   In the gradle file of your app  module  add this to the dependencies block   dependencies        compile project   openCVLibraryXYZ          rest of code       Where XYZ is the exact version you downloaded  for example in my case      dependencies           compile project   openCVLibrary320             rest of code
